Endometrial stromal nodules are well-circumscribed neoplasms composed of cells identical to those in low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma and proliferative endometrium. The clinical and pathologic features of 60 endometrial stromal nodules were studied to determine their characteristics and behaviour. A follow-up of up to 16 years revealed that none of the 60 patients developed recurrences or died of her disease, indicating that circumscribed endometrial stromal tumours are benign. A number os specific features such as irregularities in the margin, high mitotic counts, and a glandular trend did not seem to alter the benign course of this lesion.
子宫内膜间质结节是边界清楚的肿瘤，由与低级别子宫内膜间质肉瘤及增生期子宫内膜中的细胞相同的细胞组成。对60例子宫内膜间质结节的临床和病理特征进行了研究，以确定其特点和行为。长达16年的随访显示，60例患者中无一例复发或死于该疾病，表明边界清楚的子宫内膜间质肿瘤是良性的。一些特定特征，如边缘不规则、高有丝分裂计数及腺性趋势，似乎并未改变该病变的良性病程。
